Todd Buck Varsity Head Coach

Todd Buck >> VARSITY HEAD COACH Coach Buck graduated from Shasta High School in 1988, where he was a three-year, varsity letterman as a catcher and pitcher on the baseball team. He graduated from Sacramento State in 1992. While in Sacramento, he started his coaching career as the JV coach at Rio Americano High School. From there, he moved back to Redding and began teaching and coaching at West Cottonwood Middle School. In 2004, he started teaching at Foothill High. He was the JV coach for 3 years before assisting at the varsity lever.

After 2 years of assisting, he became the varsity head coach. Away from coaching, Coach Buck enjoys golfing, camping and hanging out with his wonderful wife (Amparo) and kids (Garrett and Mason).
